Maid of Honor
As if she even had a choice... She signed up for this role 8+ years ago as my best friend. We have seen each other laugh until we couldn't breath, and we've been each others' shoulder to cry on when shit hit the fan and life smacked us in the face. She doesn't let me settle for anything or anyone less than I deserve. And that's what makes her so amazing.
Best Man
This man is currently in Australia becoming Dr. Russo, but I couldn't imagine getting married without him. For nearly 10 years he has been my best friend - he's seen me at my best as well as my worst. But more times than not, Matt and I have had the best times I can remember, and this wedding will be no different. He's been chosen for this job for a while now. I know he's going to be my brother for life, and I'm glad I am able to have him here for this.
Bridesmaid
The most ambitious girl I have ever met. When she has her heart set on something, she gets it done. She has a tough side but is definitely a sweetheart and a very caring soul underneath. As much as I love my brother and as close as we are, I truly always wanted a sister growing up. I'm beyond excited to finally have one and I'm very thankful that it's her.
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride.. Usually a very intimidating thought to any Groom. In this case, however, I couldn't be more honored and excited to have this guy as a brother-in-law. And one day, maybe, I'll even beat him in a game of FIFA... Maybe.
Bridesmaid
We used to have slapping fights when we were growing up and we thought that was fun. We would take turns slapping ourselves as hard as we can on our cheeks and whoever gave up first lost and never heard the end of it. She brings me down when I start to get a little loko. That's what cousins are for. Maroon 5. Spring break. Disney. Summer vacations. I even convinced her to get a matching tattoo with me last minute (She always caves). She’s my best friend and family all in one.
Groomsman
We've been through some serious stuff, Romeo and I - we even got arrested together back in high school for taking our parents' cars out at night! But he has always had my back, and I know he always will. Now, this dude is always down for the party! No matter what's going on, you can always find Romeo in the middle of it, and this wedding will be no different. Look for him on the dance floor before the night is through.
Bridesmaid
This girl. We're not just cousins.. We're twins. The same person. Literally, it's scary. We just get one another. She definitely loves her dogs way more than me, but I can live with that.
Groomsman
Webster's Dictionary defines wedding as: The fusing of two metals with a hot torch. And I knew I would not be able to get through this wedding without having someone up there to catch all of my Michael Scott references. So when I asked him to be my groomsman, I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.
Groomsman
One of the first guys I met down at college, we just clicked right away. He was always down to hit the skatepark whenever we had time, and then crack a beer and kick back at the house afterwards. A real one til the end, I'm thankful to have him be a part of this day.
